55. The Hospital

After Daniel had just returned home, Kirana asked her mother-in-law to go home first. He could not bear to see the tired face on the woman. Ever since last night I got word from Daniel about Tristan getting into an accident, they've been awake till this morning.

"You're okay being left alone, Wi? Mama worried about your guts?"

"It's okay, Ma. Mama don't have to worry."

Although still filled with anxiety, Mrs Ratih left her son's nursery. It was heartless to let the pregnant Kirana have to take care of Tristan who was sick. However, his health in the last few days was not good.

Kirana closed the door again after dropping off her mother-in-law. The silence happened again. Since last night, he did not greet Tristan. Only occasionally talk to Daniel about the incident that happened to Tristan. It just so happened that he had met the man who helped him when he had an accident with Mentari a few months ago.

He did not ask Daniel the details. All he knows from the photo, the front and side of Tristan's car is ringsek. The accident left Tristan's right arm and leg broken.

Kirana prepared warm water to cleanse her husband's body. One by one the opening of pajama buttons with hospital logo. Kirana was upset that Tristan could not look at her. Even as Kirana started wiping away that not-so-muscular body, Tristan was still staring at her.

"Lift her hand!" kirana told Tristan to raise his hand to clean the arm. Tristan actually held back a smile seeing Kirana's annoyed face.

"Other times if you want to test the magic do not just drive while drunk. On the train tracks."

Tristan chuckled at the expression of his wife. "If I die, you don't feel lost?" That question made Kirana lift the corner of her lips.

"The men of this world are not just you!" reply Kirana ketus.

"Oh yeah?! Then why do you still care about me?"

Kirana stopped rubbing Tristan's arm, then looked at her husband's face with a wound on his forehead. "I'll stop caring about you after there's no more bonding between us" he said firmly. Then she cleaned her husband's body again to all parts.

"Pelan dong, honey. My leg is in pain" Tristan protested as Kirana put her pants on violently.

"You don't think your legs are heavy!"

Bugs!

"Let's!"

Kirana put the bandaged foot away with the bandage. Until Tristan complains.

Unconcerned with herself who had yet to bathe, Kirana laid herself down on the waiting bed. Lazy feeling in contact with water that has recently experienced becomes a problem that is being sought the cause.

Her mother-in-law said it was because of the birth of a pregnant woman. But I don't know, Kirana can't believe it completely. But it might be true.

Right now he just wants to close his eyes after since coming to the hospital last night he was awake until this morning. Kirana covered her face with a blanket but was unable to fall asleep. Several times he changed his sleeping position and he was still nervous.

The sound of his stomach became an alarm if he had since ignored his hunger. Kirana shuffled down from that single bed. Then take the device and wallet from the bag.

"I'm going to the cafeteria" he said without looking at Tristan's face.

"Nabila is coming soon. He brought food from Mama."

The door of the room opened after a few seconds Tristan finished speaking. The woman who always wore long pants appeared with a big smile carrying one plastic bag and one food bag in her hand. Nabila looks troubled because he still has to drag a small suitcase.

"Morning!" sapana. Almost never seen a sad face on Nabila. His days always look cheerful.

Kirana rushed to help Nabila by taking the bags that her husband's cousin brought.

"Sorry ngerepotin, Bil," Kirana said.

"It's ok." said Nabila while pulling the suitcase near the waiting bed.

"Lo why can it be gini, Bang? Mabok?"

"Buddy, Bang. I have a wife who still plays for the club. Shame on your wife. The child already wants two too," cerocos Nabila then he threw himself onto the sofa.

While Kirana was busy opening the food boxes. The savory aroma of Bi Elis' cooking shifted attention to his surroundings. He plucked the fish fillet fried flour and chewed it. No matter Nabila who was lecturing her husband at length. As if the desire to vent her frustration was already represented by the cousin who is now her husband's assistant.

"Don't get wiped out, Na. I haven't had breakfast yet,"

Kirana chuckles. It could be Nabila reminded him who was busy eating in between his scolding on Tristan.

"Kata Bi Elis, the cork fish for Brother." said Nabila again.

Kirana opened another box that she had not opened. Kirana took a sip of saliva looking at the cork fish soup in the box. He glanced at Tristan who was staring at him.

Kirana had no idea what was on her husband's head. Since then, it seems as if I have not observed it.

"Mas! Ask for a little, will you?" pinta Kirana with a wailing face. His self-esteem fell instantly just because of the food that teased his tongue.

"Make all of you" said Tristan.

"Seriously?!" Kirana's face suddenly shone. "But Bi Elis said this to you."

"Mas don't like cooked fish sauce. Just want to fry."

Kirana frowned. It looks like Tristan is lying. Because at midnight Tristan took the fish soup at his request, he ate only two pieces. The rest was finished by her husband.

Kirana does not care. Bi Elis brought me a little. For himself will be finished. Stupid time with Tristan. Tomorrow you can still ask to be cooked.

"How many days do you eat, Na? So slow!" Nabila commented on Kirana's eating style.

"It's a meal for two, Bil. If you are pregnant, you will be alone."

Kirana's answer made Tristan flounder. "Lo rather than being a spinster mending with Daniel aja, Bil," always. "Let's quickly multiply," he added.

"The same gue as Daniel?! Isn't Temen lo more of a jerk than him?"

"Emang Mas Daniel's a jerk?" Kirana.

"Okay, Na! I'm telling you, yeah. Temen lo's men are all assholes. He's doing a bit of a slab." Nabila pointed at Tristan who was lying on the bed with his chin.

"Braggles!" muttered Kirana slowly.

Nabila laughed when she saw Kirana believe her words. The woman took a box that was still intact and put it in a bag. It was too late for breakfast at the hospital. He was late to the office. From this day on he had to handle all of Tristan's work until his cousin was able to get back into the office.

"Gue first, Na! Bang's!" pity before leaving.

"Be careful, Bill!" kirana Sahut. Tristan answered with Deheman.

The room was back in silence. Kirana packed the empty food box. Then put it in the bag.

His full stomach made drowsiness attack. Kirana closed her mouth as she suddenly yawned.

"Yes! Here, deh!" call Tristan.

"No! I'm lazy to be close to you!"

Kirana got up from the sofa and went up to the empty bed. He took his gawai before the drowsiness actually brought him to dreamland. Things he's ignored since last night. After a few messages came in, he spent time surfing online news sites.

"Astaghfiullah!" Kirana was shocked when she read a news story on social media.
